Twitter erupts as Rafael Nadal beats Dominic Thiem to win his 11th title at the French Open

With the new center stadium being built @rolandgarros , maybe some thought to a @RafaelNadal stand or something to signify his dominance on that court.. ? Just a thought.

In 2011 after Rafa won 6th French open, Boris Becker said Rafa can win 5 more French opens and I was like WHAT😱

And look we are here @RafaelNadal

Rafael Nadal now with as many French Open titles as Bjorn Borg had major titles overall: 11. He might have played his best after his hand cramped. Beats Thiem 64 63 62. #RG18 https://t.co/e6PzXOdxV5

Nadal looks absolutely wiped out. Hardly surprising. The emotional and psychological strain to keep doing this must be off the scale. And it’s coming out now in his tears.
